The 1880 McClurg Covered Bridge is a historic King post truss covered bridge in Paris, Washington County, Pennsylvania. The bridge originally was part of Devil's Den Road and crossed Kings Creek. The bridge was relocated to its present location in 1987 and now crosses a small ravine in Hanover Township Park and is only open to foot traffic. It is 12 feet and 3 inches wide and 24 feet long, with red vertical plank siding, three rectangular windows on each side, and a cedar shake roof.
Named after former property owners of its original location, the McClurg family, McClurg Bridge has been nicknamed the Devil's Den Bridge, after the name of a cave which is hidden behind a waterfall near where the bridge originally stood.
McClurg Bridge is tied with the Krepps Bridge as the shortest covered bridge in Washington County and possibly in all of Pennsylvania. It was restored in 1988. It is also the site of an annual Covered Bridge Festival since 1987.
Recognized for its historical significance, it holds the designation of a historic bridge by the Washington County History & Landmarks Foundation.
